What can I tell you?
How do I fight the fear
that would lead to drown
and sail the shores of belief?
What relief can I offer
that won't be recognized
as lies or wishful thinking?
You deserve more than that.
With spirits sinking
I acknowledge lack of words
excepting these few:
I love you. I'm praying.

Laura, this is simply beyond.

When you write free verse, you show dimensions of yourself that you never quite reveal when there's form to hide you.... and yes, this is one I know you feel deeply.

I'm there with you.

All you can say?  I think those few words say more than volumes in any language could.

I'm so choked up, I can't write a decent reply ~ but you certainly expressed your loving and honest feelings with utmost grace and beauty.

I hear you. I'm with you. I'm praying.

Love & Eternal Light,
Linda

Lovely poem, I loved the honesty that this poem entailed.

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.

Sending my prayers along too, while pacing to hear from you or someone. Keep the faith, he is a tough one as you know.
